>--Researchers pursue biodegradable pc boards--
>A project to investigate reducing the cost of recycling has produced some
>promising results--and a patent application--in the area of biodegradable
>printed-circuit boards. The Welding Institute (TWI), based here, and the
>British Textile Technology Group (BTTG; Manchester, England) have been
>working together for about one year and are now looking for additional
>partners to help produce an industrial-scale demonstration of the
>technology. TWI has been investigating biodegradable pc boards as a means
>of satisfying forthcoming European Union (EU) recycling legislation.
>Candidate materials for biodegradable pc boards include proteins such
>as casein and plant extensions and carbohydrate-based materials such as
>cellulose and chitin.
